Re: SQL-injection, XSS in OSSIM (Open Source Security Information Management)



Hello,

I can confirm this affecting earlier versions as well, the XSS has been fixed some months ago, the SQL Injection (and others) were caused by a failure in the "punctuation" validation regexp. Just fixed that one as well as some others.

We're going to release a fixed version asap after stopping development in order to get a throughout security audit done. The SQL regexp I just fixed and we'll update the packages today.

Nonetheless, exposure should be minimal since:

a) You aren't going to provide public access to your SIM console, aren't you ? b) Regarding the specific SQL injection mentioned in here (as said, there are more we're going to fix), you shouldn't give access to the policy section to normal users either.

I must thank you for pointing this out but would've appreciate a more "direct" contact, as it is considered a polite way of releasing bugs.

Greetings,

Dominique

2) SQL injection

The bug exist in portname parameter of modifyportform.php
It's possible to obtain hashed administrator password when user have rights to do port modification in "PORTS" tab.

http://[host]/ossim/port/modifyportform.php?portname=ANY'%20and %201=2%20union%20select%20pass,2%20from%20ossim.users%20where %20login='admin

3) XSS

Quotes in OSSIM aren't property sanitized.
Below XSS may be executed without logging into the OSSIM.
